Forwards. With A Republican Kick.
I just got this forward from my mom comparing 2009 with 1909. This my favorite fun fact about America's past:
**Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, 'Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health'**
Then I realized she received this from one of her retired republican friends, as you can guess from the psychotic added side note.
**There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A.!** (Mainly because there was a firearm of some sort in almost every home! An armed society is a POLITE society!!)
Sigh.

An armed society is a polite society is logic I just can't wrap my head around. Isn't it the same as saying a fearful society is a polite society? I don't know about others, but I don't need to be afraid to be polite.

I think the key word here is "reported." Perhaps sans radio, television and Al Gore's invention, not every single slaying made its way into the records. Seems like, sadly, lynchings alone might have trumped that number in 1909.
And I sure would cast a wary eye at anyone who tries to tell ya, "heroin regulates the bowels..."

Because murder is really the height of rudeness.

So is the psychotic friend saying that he or she approves of the legal sale of drugs? I can actually respect that kind of libertarianism even if I don't agree with it. If we're going to be free to carry guns, we should certainly be free to do whatever else we want with our bodies. It's the hypocrisy that irritates me - yes, freedom for guns and money, jail for drug users and homos!
